Of course I don't. I only care about somatic components if they grappled or restrained.

Kaien

Yeah, I am gonna play RAW. I absolutely hate wizards having shield more often than fighters from the roleplay perspective. I would just prefer to tell my players I will give monsters smaller mods to attack so they can play casters like casters and focus more on roleplaying the spell mechanics (using free hand to use some funny components, perform a sign with your finger) than boring optimization.

Luke Tomlinson

Your last point is pretty on-the-nose - these rules about equipping shields requiring an action, limiting interactions etc are likely there precisely to make it difficult for spellcasters to use weapons & shields. While they're finicky, you do lose something by ignoring them/house-ruling them away.

Noah

can't believe they didn't fix the "VS needs a free hand even with a focus" thing in 2024
